Personally I have the grace of Jar Jar Binks. My last few forays on a bike, when I was younger and less frail, were disastrous. Proponents of E-bikes must be very young and fit, I guess? Because all of us older, disabled, or just plain clutzy people need four wheels and walls of metal between us and the world.

Having said that, I wouldn't mind having a glorified golf cart to run around town. Seal me in from the weather and give me AC and Bluetooth, that's all I ask.
